Abstract
Although tourism planning is a part of the general strategic planning system of the state, its complexity, hierarchy and scientific involvement are rarely found in other departmental planning, because, as a comprehensive undertaking, tourism have both its economic implications and its cultural contents. Economically, tourism involves industry, agriculture, traffic, trade and commerce; culturally, it involves many disciplines and fields. Therefore, tourism planning is a multi-level matrix planning involving many procedures, departments and disciplines. A series of theoretical and practical issues need to be addressed. These issues involve the nature, objective, characteristic, principle, content, category, step and method of tourism planning.
